In this heavyhanded political allegory, set in the plains and mountains of Central Asia, a tribe of people led by the fanatical Mavrut (Vladimir Msrian) wanders about in the most desolate parts of this already desolate region in search of a mythical "Land of Happiness." Their quest is hampered by the fact that they must all live a life which is extremely ascetic. One tribeswoman expresses a desire to have a child, but is rebuked by being reminded that she has vowed never to have worldly ties that would distract her from the quest. When she has a child anyway, she and her lover are made to pay for this crime in a horrific way. Despite that, the child becomes a kind of holy mascot for the group, touted by the leader as a kind of savior. They are distressed when the child goes missing one day, only to appear mysteriously on the opposite side of the rapids of a river, beckoning to them.

Aspar Ramazanovich - the schoolmaster
This intriguing mixture of melodrama and politics is not divided into three parts; the title instead refers to three female characters whose lives intersect in a small town in northern Uzbekistan during the difficult days following World War II. The first is an old woman trapped in a forced marriage; the second is a schoolteacher imposing progress on the remote region; the third, and most important, is Khalima (Kambarova), an illiterate but determined young woman who resolves to build her own house without either her husband's or the state's approval. The film's harsh vision of life in postwar Uzbekistan, as well as its ambivalent attitude toward the conflicting demands of individualism and collectivism, made it the object of official disapproval.

잿빛의 이름없는 이 도시는 '구역'이라는 곳으로 철조망으로 둘러싸여 군인들이 지키고 있는 외계의 공간이라 알려져 있다. 아내의 만류에도 불구하고 스토커라는 이름의 한 사내가 칠흑 같은 어둠 속을 걸어나온다. 그는 구역 안으로 사람들을 안내할 수 있는 정신적인 재능을 부여받은 소수의 무리 중의 하나이다. 하지만 이 일은 너무나도 위험천만한 일이기 때문에 정부에 걸릴 경우엔 감옥행도 불사해야 하는 일이다. 사람들이 이 구역 안의 공간으로 들어가고자 하는 이유는 이곳에 가는 오직 한 사람만 자신의 비밀스런 꿈을 이룰 수 있다는 설이 있기 때문이다. 그 날밤, 스토커는 두 사람을 안내해 구역 안으로 들어간다. 한 사람은 유명한 작가로 이제는 영감이 소멸돼 자신의 천재성에 대해 회의를 갖기 시작하는 사람이고, 또 다른 한 사람은 조용한 과학자로 여행보다는 배낭에 더 관심을 가지는 사람이다. 버려진 공간 '구역'에서 그 공간을 향하는 길은 정해져 있지 않다. 그들이 점점 공간에 가까이 다가갈수록 규칙은 변하고 스토커는 커다란 위험에 직면하는데...

The setting is Central Asia during the Russian civil war. In the post-revolutionary twenties, when the power in European Russia was (officially) "fully in the hands of the workers and peasants", but the fight against the Basmachi rebels was in full swing. When a Red Army detachment captures Sultan Mazar, the brains behind the Bazmachi contingent, a decision is made to escort urgently the prisoner to the Bukhara province. The difficult mission is entrusted to a grizzled mountain trapper and conscientious revolutionary called Mirzo. His expertise is essential to traverse the precarious paths and steep mountain ridges along the way, impossible terrain for the inexperienced. A group consisting of Mirzo, his brother Kova, the Sultan, his daughter Zaranghis and slave Saifulla set off on this journey. They are forced to fight on the mountain ridges as well as negotiate the natural dangers and harsh elements.
